CURRICULUM
The Robin’s Nest Preschool program helps prepare children for future schooling by providing them with opportunities to explore the world around them and see how they fit into it. Our integrated curriculum includes units and activities in language, math, science, social studies, art, physical education, music, the Bible and readiness skills. We use a thematic approach to assist our children in gaining growth socially, emotionally, and intellectually through play and hands-on learning experiences. Our goal is to meet each child at his/her own level, offer age-appropriate learning experiences, and guide each child to their full potential.
HISTORY
The Robin’s Nest Christian Preschool held its first open house on June 18, 1976, and the following September opened its doors to a full enrollment of preschoolers. At its "birth," The Robin’s Nest was the dream of a young woman who envisioned a safe and nurturing place where preschoolers would be prepared for school academically, socially, and emotionally within an environment where exemplary Christian values would be taught and role modeled. The Robin’s Nest would embrace commonalities of faith and not denominational theologies.
This dream materialized with the joint efforts of five young couples who combined talents and skills to develop curriculum and design welcoming classrooms. Tuition would be kept reachable for as many families as possible by maintaining a nonprofit status and charging only what would provide fair salaries for teachers, school supplies, and reasonable facility upkeep.Holding bi-annual garage sales provided necessary finances to jumpstart and support their endeavors.
Forty-three years later, The Robin’s Nest is still a reflection of the dreams and labors of the hearts of its creators. Although housed, by invitation, in the Lakeview Christian Life building, it has no theological dictates or directives from any denominational or independent church. The Robin’s Nest Christian Preschool provides a setting where children feel safe, loved, and nurtured in an environment that reflects the love of Christ and the commonality of all Christian faiths. The Robin’s Nest, for 43 years, has had a "bouquet" of Christian teachers from a breadth of denominational backgrounds and who each reflected a commitment to Christ in their personal lives.
